:208 MISSOURI HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Danl Boone — Has not fruited with me yet ; its appearance is not 

 promising ; I doubt its proving to be of any value tiere. 



Daisy — No fruit yet; plant looks much like Cumberland, though 

 I can see easily a difference. 



Glendale — Good crop of large, very firm berries of dark color and 

 poor quality ; late; good shipper. 



James Fi'cX;— First year's fruiting ; not a productive, large or de- 

 sirable in any way except in hardiness of plant, unless it does better 

 than it has this season. 



Jersey Queen — Largest and finest berries I ever saw, and very 

 productive considering its size ; good quality, but too soft for much 

 handling. 



Manchester — Large, well-shaped berries ; productive ; pleases me 

 very much; plant rather sensitive to heat and drouth, otherwise one 

 of the most desirable in the whole list for profit. 



^i/i,e?'5— First season's -fruiting; hardy, very productive, large and 

 fine. 



Old Iron Glad—Oi no value. 



Wilson (genuine)— With this I am highly pleased ; very produc- 

 tive, firmest of all; requires good cultivation, otherwise will be too 

 small. It it continues to do as well as it did for me the past season, 

 it will be sometime yet before it is entirely superseded by newer sorts. 



Wilson (as purchased from two different parties here) — Early and 

 productive, but small and soft ; plant a weak, rusty grower of no value 

 whatever. 



Windsor Chief— Klmo^t as productive as Crescent; large, late 

 dark colored; valuable for home use and near market, but too soft for 

 shipment. 



Woodwards No. i— Weak grower ; irregular in shape and size ; of 

 no value that I can see. 



B id well— Hardy ^ productive and firm ; irregular in size and shape ; 

 ripens one side at a time ; is of excellent quality. 



Black C'ia/i^— First year's fruiting; productive, large size, dark 

 colored and firm ; looksjlike overgrown Wilsons ; good quality, prom- 

 ising. 



Mine is a clay soil, and runs all the way from very gravelly to no 

 gravel at all. The slope is to the south gently. The Capt. Jacks were 

 on gravel. 



These notes are all made from memory, and may differ somewhat 

 from the form they would have received if made during the fruiting 

 season, but in the main they are correct according to this year's expe- 

 rience. I hope, however, that another year's experience will enable me 

 to change some of them very materially.
